Today, a user tried to buy a meme coin with 84 ETH on Uniswap and paid 64.01 ETH in transaction fee.

This was picked up by Whale Alert, a bot that shares big movements on Twitter.

People are mocking this user and saying that it must be Bitboy, because he doesn't not know how to swap on uniswap (see top post, lol).

While at face value it seems like an accident, various people are arguing that this was a voluntary move. Apparently he tried to buy some coin named FOUR and is up on the trade. But I cannot get this confirmed.

So much crazy news lately. From someone accidentally sending $1.5 million to the wrong address, to another person buying the wrong $PEPE in April and getting rugged instead of becoming a millionaire, to this person paying insane fees.

Never a dull week in crypto.
